The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

After a pause, he continued: "This clan brother is ambitious, and the soldiers practice every day. In order to ensure the soldiers' physical strength, they are required to eat three meals a day. Not to mention eating enough, they also need meat and oil from time to time... this money The imperial court will definitely not come out."

"That is to say, he is using his own money to subsidize the military? What does he think of the imperial army?" Liu Hua frowned, which was obviously a taboo.

"Come on, the Habayashi Army was rebuilt with the original soldiers under his command. It is not wrong to say that it is his private army." Liu Hong waved his hand, "I am not afraid of ambition, as long as he has the strength to match his ambition!"

After all, Liu Tao owns the Habayashi Army, and Liu Hong owns Liu Tao.Of course, there is a certain danger in this way, but in my own hands, there is no one who knows how to fight, and this is the worst.

It might be even worse if someone changed to command the Habayashi Army.Just like those in the Northern Army a few years ago, they simply regarded it as a place to advance, and after a few years of fooling around, they tried to transfer them away, and they never seriously trained soldiers.

"By the way, have you eaten yet? How about staying to have dinner with me?" Liu Hong immediately remembered something, "Recently, I got some good food here, and I have eaten this for two days."

"Oh, it's time to try something new." Liu Hua was a little curious about what His Majesty the Great Han admired so much.

When the food came up, it was buns, steamed buns, soy milk, and of course eggs and fried dough sticks.If you add some mustard, the breakfast set is already perfect.

"Cooking cake?" I couldn't see other things, but Liu Hua recognized the cooking cake.

Seeing that Liu Hong started to eat, she also began to taste it.As a result, she got the steamed buns, and the softness immediately made her a little unbelievable. She bit it down, like biting into a cloud, with a little sweetness in the softness.

However, after biting down, I found that the dough is also very chewy and has a very good taste.Take a bite and savor it, it's a feeling I've never had before.

"This cake..." Liu Hua looked at Liu Hong with some doubts.

"It's not just pancakes, but also steamed buns... There's chicken with mushrooms inside, and one is fresh meat." Liu Hong was eating a steamed bun with mushrooms and chicken at the moment.

It is said that the official name of this thing in history was "steamed buns", but in modern times, some places call it "steamed buns".

The problem is that since Zhuge Liang is not yet an adult, the allusion of steamed buns has not appeared, and Liu Tao does not want to explain why this thing is called steamed buns, so he simply called it "baozi" according to the name of later generations.

"It was presented by Liu Tao three days ago. I liked it very much, so I taught the cooking method to the royal chef. TOEFL, my breakfast is quite rich..." Liu Hong sighed, "The key is the wheat , the current price is much cheaper than corn."

Those who eat wheat these days are either wheat rice, or made into fried noodles or unfermented pancakes with wheat bran.If you do this, it is normal for the taste to be poor, so many people would rather eat corn than wheat.

The mainstream is corn, followed by wheat and rice, sorghum is relatively cheap, and the scope of other miscellaneous grains is less and less.

Beans may be good, but eating them directly is uncomfortable.It must be ground into tofu, but it is not suitable as a staple food.

The fermentation technology of flour, thanks to Liu Tao's old noodles, relying on a piece of old noodles, the imperial dining room has mastered the fermentation technology of noodles.As far as the craftsmanship of the royal chefs is concerned, after they are proficient, the buns, steamed buns, soy milk and fritters they make are naturally much more delicious.

After a pause, he looked at Liu Hua and said, "I'll send an imperial cook to your side later, and I will also teach you how to cook."

"My concubine thanks Your Majesty!" Liu Hua bowed solemnly. To be honest, even if Liu Hong didn't say it, she would have asked for it.After eating this thing, I can no longer look at the cooking cakes I ate before.

"This clan brother usually likes to tinker with messy things. But I like this. Compared with those guys who are full of knowledge but don't speak human language, I like him a little bit more." Liu Hong said with emotion.

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that he has too much heart. At the paper mill, the paper medicine will be taken out as soon as it is said."

In the final analysis, papermaking is not about what materials are used. The real core secret is paper medicine.Paper medicine is related to the specific quality of paper and should be the top secret of paper mills.

However, Liu Tao didn't care about it, and Bi Lan had no choice but to control the formula first, and then arrange for trusted people to master it to prevent the formula from leaking out.

"My side is actually the same..." Liu Hua also sighed, "I told you how to make money, and then I didn't care about it. In fact, my concubine thinks that if he wants to open a fighting theater by himself, he may be able to do better than me. good……"

"This is also what I am most confused about." Liu Hong shook his head, "He doesn't seem to care much about these industries. He has worked so hard to train soldiers, and his heart is not on Luoyang's side..."

Chapter 187 Liu Hong Meets Liu Hua

"Could it be that he wants to..." Liu Hua couldn't help frowning when he heard this, worried that Liu Tao was planning to rebel or do something about Huo Guang.

"Thinking too much, he was originally just a boy from a gentry family in Zhuo County, and he studied under Lu Zhi for a period of time at most." Liu Hong shook his head, "Rebellion is too far away from him, even if the gentry insisted on pushing someone up, it would not be him. kind."

Generally speaking, it must be the clan of the Han Dynasty, and the blood is relatively close.The second is to have some status. It is obviously impossible for Liu Tao, a "clan member", at least he must be a prince or king.

After a pause, he added: "In addition... I have never seen such an ambitious being, who has been in Luoyang for so long, and has never contacted the gentry."

If it wasn't for the lack of money and the intention to earn some money, it is estimated that he would not even go out of the palace.Liu Tao was almost training soldiers and then reading books, without any communication at all, at most he had something to do with the girls' school books.

But that connection, in Liu Hong's view, is nothing more than the emotional exchange between men and women.

The same is true for Cai Yan, she really thought that she would not know about being a school secretary in Lantai?Just knowing that she is a widow at home alone, and that she is indeed talented, she acquiesced to this matter.

In other words, if Cai Yan really wanted to leave the palace, Wei Wei would probably let him go.It's just that she didn't know about it, so she ran to Liu Tao's camp and spent the night. After knowing this, Liu Hong doubted whether she had a crush on Liu Tao.

Speaking of Liu Tao, Liu Hong thought of something, so he naturally said to himself: "Speaking of which, earlier, he seemed to have expressed that he wanted to let it out..."

Although this was talking to himself, but Liu Hua was so close, so he naturally heard it.

"Young man, it's not surprising that he likes hard work. Your Majesty, it may be too early to put him in Luoyang." Liu Hua thought for a while and said.

"I don't know..." Liu Hong sighed, "It's just that I suddenly discovered that I really have no one on hand."

There are as many people as possible, but they can only shout slogans outside. There is a real problem, and no one is willing to charge forward.This crusade against the Yellow Turban Bandits not only exhausted his internal funds, but also put the Northern Army in the hands of the gentry.

There are quite a few traces that show that the Yuan family has connections with the three Zhang brothers, but they have done everything right.

In the case of Emperor Guangwu or Emperor Wu, let alone evidence, as long as there is suspicion, the Yuan family can be wiped out.But now he can't do it, he dared to issue such an order, and the ministers refused to say anything, even if the edict could leave Luoyang.

Bad luck even became an excuse for someone to do what Huo Guang did, so that he never dared to act rashly.

Before forming a new army and controlling it in his hands, he needs to have an army that can be deployed at any time.This army must have combat effectiveness, and the commander of the army must be on his side, and at the same time be good at fighting and daring to fight.

Looking at it this way, no, it seems that Liu Tao's army in the whole world is the most suitable for the requirements.

"Liu Tao is still young, so if he doesn't sharpen it, there will probably be problems. Sending it out may not be a good thing, and if it is a border area, it is normal to have [-] to [-] troops. Now the two thousand or more troops are of little use. .” Liu Hua reminded.

"After two years, I'll raise enough money..." Liu Hong picked up the fritters and took a big bite.

"How much money is enough?" Liu Hua couldn't help asking.

"At least one more army can be formed, at least an army of 2 people!" Liu Hong replied that the concept of Xiyuan Eighth School actually existed, but it had to be shelved because of lack of money.

"It's too expensive, and the concubine can't support it..." At first, I wanted to ask for help, but when I heard the result, Liu Hua immediately gave up. Not to mention the recruitment of 2 people and armaments, the daily supply is also a big number.

"You've helped me a lot. Besides, the paper-making workshop will produce paper one after another, and you can make some money by then." Liu Hong shook his head, and then compared the fried dough sticks in his hand, "That's all, take it out alone, You can make a lot of money too.”

"It's just such a small amount of money. Your Majesty probably doesn't like it?" Liu Hua also felt that it was feasible to open a restaurant, selling steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk. The effect should be very good.

"If you are interested, you can drive it yourself, but the method is Liu Tao's, don't forget." Liu Hong reminded.

"How could the concubine forget him?" Liu Hua smiled, "I just sent out a Zhuangzi, and my heart is still bleeding."

"That's between you and him." Liu Hong can still distinguish between public and private, but the most important thing is that he doesn't have any money.There are restrictions on how to make money. It is really not easy for an emperor to make money.

Wait, if I burn this Nangong, can I take the opportunity to make a name and continue to make money?Anyway, his reputation is already rotten, and it doesn't matter if it stinks a little bit...Looking at this palace, Liu Hong felt mortified at the moment.

"However, he gave his concubine an idea. One month later, Bo Theater will be reopened. I think the income will be much better than before. At that time, it is estimated that I can give more to the palace." Liu Hua said immediately, and she could only Help with this.

Her husband is a servant, so he can be regarded as a scholar, so she can't go to the palace often, so as not to embarrass him.
